Add a 2.5 inch U.3 NVMe SSD into a PCIe 4.0 x4/x8/x16 slot in a desktop or server using the included screws, enabling ultra-fast data access.
Add U.3 Capabilities to a Desktop or Server
Install an SFF-TA-1001 SSD into a desktop or server using an available PCI Express 4.0 slot. The pre-installed full-profile bracket and included drive mounting screws enable the connection of a U.3 NVMe drive to a PCIe slot, avoiding the need for a drive backplane or additional cables. This adapter is not compatible with U.2 drives.
Universal Compatibility
The Adapter Card is backward compatible with motherboards that feature x4, x8, and/or x16 PCIe 3.0 slots. The U.3 Adapter requires no additional drivers or software and works with all workstation and server operating systems, such as Windows, Windows Server, and Linux.
Optimal Airflow and Reliable Performance
The vented full-profile bracket and a large cutout in the PCB allow for better airflow and heat dissipation, which helps maintain optimal and reliable performance while avoiding thermal throttling.

Special Notes / Requirements
Note
This product is compatible with U.3 drives only. U.2, SAS, and SATA drives are incompatible.
This product is backwards compatible with PCIe 3.0 slots, operating at reduced speeds.
NVMe SSDs may require additional drivers, provided by the manufacturer, or may be natively provided by the operating system (Windows 8 and later - Mac OS 10.10.3 and later). Earlier OS versions do not have native NVMe support.
